Best Looking Sports Car?
Sorry Tom, don't mean to hijack your thread but its only fair.
So what do you think is THE best looking (not necessarily performance handling) car out there. Here's my picks: Black one is a GT-4, both Panteras !!!

1. Ferrari 250 GTO
2. Ferrari Spyder California
3. Aston Martin DBR1 (the 1958 body style)
4. Scarab (front engine only - the rear engine one might be eligible for ugliest...  )
5. Jaguar E-Type - Series 1
Last fall I went to Goodwood with a friend of mine and after he saw a few of the cars I was taking photos of he decided that I must be a breast man. He is absolutely correct.  His reason for thinking that is that pretty much all the cars I was taking a million pictures of had high, rounded front fenders, and perspex headlight covers.
And as I type this Raquel Welch is walking onto Craig Fergusons show!

Photos, people. I haven't heard of half of these things.
For me, Pantera and GT-40 at the top. Behind the Cobra, of course.
Ferrari 250 next, then several-
Aston Martin DBS, McLaren Benz, 512BB, Jag XKE, Porsche 911 Turbo (you pick the year), Viper.

Best Looking Sports Car
For me, it's always been the DeTomaso Mangusta:
A stunning design, from every angle.

Hands down, best looking sports car ever, IMHO:
And the one behind it is probably my second favorite. |

must say I'm a little biased.. but a 500 rwhp daily driver that averages 23 combined MPG has to rank up there..

Cobras aside, my vote goes for the Datona Ferrari or Ferrari GTB 275. I also love the Dino 246! Beautiful cars!
